Goodbye - Neil {TENET}

Pairing: Neil x Reader

Words: 1.5k+

Type: Angst

Summary: Y/N decides to leave after Neil comes back injured from a mission.

Warnings: Mentions of blood and death.

You walk back in the room and stare at Neil’s asleep state. He looks peaceful, just like any other night.

It doesn’t even look like he took two bullets onto his abdomen and isn’t laying in a hospital bed.

He had just come back from surgery a few hours ago, and he should be waking up soon, or at least that’s what the doctors said.

Your chest aches at the sight of all the cables connected to his body and the large bruise on his jaw. You had seen the large bandage that covered his torso when a nurse came to check his stitching, and you just can’t take your mind off of it.

headcanons about that period between season 2 and 3, like after the breakup and they navigating the rest of the school year in a unfamiliar distance? How their routine would change. I think about that a lot

After the events of season 2, Nancy hyper focused on journalism and becoming part of the school paper. Her passion for investigation and seeking truth came from her journey of uncovering the secrets of HNL, but also needing to keep herself busy to keep her mind off of Steve and the Steve shaped hole in her life.

Steve, on the other hand... He hung out with Dustin some weekends, but the rest of the school year was a blur. He continued with basketball and the swim team, but only because he was going through the motions. He wasn't sure exactly who he was ever since he lost Nancy and he didn't want to go back to the old crowd of "friends" he ditched, and at that point wasn't ready to find out yet. Hell, he was so aloof and in his own head that he didn't even notice that he was getting bagel crumbs all over the floor in class or care that prom queen Tammy Thompson practically asked him to ask her on a date nearly every Friday for three months before she eventually gave up.

Both Steve and Nancy have important relationships and lives beyond their romantic relationship with one another, but I think that losing each other shook both their worlds far more than they wanted to admit to themselves, which was shown a bit in season 3. They didn't know how to process not being a part of each other's life anymore and neither one handled it well.

We're Okay- Neil x F!reader

Pairings: Neil x Fem!reader

Genre: Angst/hurt/fluff

Warnings: Injury, talk of death?, blood, gunshot.

(Y/N) and Ives’ team was just dispatched to Tallinn, Ives had told her Neil had called for the cavalry, that was enough for her to rush in, with each moment closer to getting to Neil and The protagonist, her veins were fueled with Anxiety, hoping to god Neil wasn’t hurt.

(Y/N) was the team’s second in command, psychotherapist, and medic. She was the real deal. She and Neil were recruited together, and since then they were inseparable as ever. They were the dynamic duo of the entirety of Tenet.

So it would make sense when Neil was sent to take care of the protagonist, she was beyond anxious for him. Even though he reassured her his safety both at the agency and at home, she couldn’t shake it off. But nevertheless let him go as it was his job. But to her delight she had to start the mission for and with him, while he started things in Kiev, she made sure that the Mumbai mission would go as planned. She was the shadow of this mission before they had taken her to the team. This was actually the longest time the two would be separated from each other.

“Jesus Christ Neil!” she gasped looking at the wound in his shoulder, quickly getting her supplies out. “Take your stupid gear off.” she grumbled, he frowned but complied nonetheless.

He knew her better than anyone on this planet. So he could quite literally see the gears in her head turning so fast, he swore they would malfunction. He did feel a bit guilty for making her worry too much, he loved her with everything he had and the last thing he needed was for her to hurt. To hurt the woman he loved. “(Y/N/N)…”he tried, but she refused to meet his eyes and continued working on the wound, trying hard to stop it from bleeding. He sighed knowing she wouldn’t listen to him right now. All he wanted was to tell her everything would be okay.

She was trying not to panic with the blood seeping while she tended to it, she tried. She tried really hard not to let her feelings cloud her judgment but that clearly failed seeing she decided to stay mad at him. She couldn’t bare to see him in pain, she loved him too much. The last thing she needed was for him to hurt. See the man she loved get hurt. “(Y/N/N)…” every time he would call her that, she wanted nothing more than to call him hers. But right now, she had a job to complete and a man to be mad at. She heard him sigh knowing very well he got the message.

Ives grimaced looking at the two, feeling sorry for the guy while he gave orders to his team. (Y/N) now moved to the protagonist, letting out a breath of relief when she found no serious injuries on him. She stood up, refusing to meet Neil’s gaze, moving past Ives, nodding, walking away to go over the new orders.

“Love!”

“She seems pretty mad.” Ives commented, as the trio looked back at the woman who was checking on the weapons. Neil let out a frustrated breath, running his hand through his hair, followed by rubbing his face. Ives snickered at his actions.

“Who is she exactly?” The protagonist asked. Making Ives chuckle.

“(Y/N) is one of our best agents, she’s kind of a multiasker, she’s an expert marksman, medic, psychotherapist, and she’s my team’s second in command.” Neil couldn’t help but feel pride hearing Ives’ words. She was his best girl. Neil politely excused himself from the conversation, preparing himself to talk to (Y/N). Ives patted his shoulder as a good luck.

He saw her in the corner of the room, doing something with her back facing him, with one quick motion there was a dagger in his neck, threatening to cut it when he touched her shoulder “Neil you know better than to sneak up on Me.” she mumbled going back to facing away from him, checking the weapons.

“Hey.” He wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her back to his chest. His chin on her shoulder. She closed her eyes, stopping whatever she was doing, enjoying the way their bodies were flushed together. “I’m okay.” He whispered in her ears, sending shocks all over her body, she was glad she was still in her full handed gear, he didn’t have to see the Goosebumps that decorated her skin.

“I was so scared Ni.” she spoke in the same tone, resulting him to tighten his hold on her.

“I know.” he kissed her temple “but hey,” one of his hands left her body and into his pocket to pull out a talisman, hanging on a single red thread. “Lucky charm, you told me I’ll be safe as long as I have this on me when you gave this to me didn’t you?” she simply nodded taking a deep breath.

“I’m sorry.” she sighed out, feeling bad for being mad at him.

“This is our job (Y/N), you can’t save everyone.” he stated calmly. That was enough for her mind to enter a spiral of ‘what ifs’ again. Neil noticed and immediately turning her around, the grip still on her waist moving to hold her face in his hands. “(Y/N)…hey…we’re okay.” he started only to be cut off her by her.

“Neil, I can’t lose you.” She shook her head with glassy eyes. “I can’t…you’re all I have.” she threw herself on him, he was quick to hold her against him.

“You won’t lose me (Y/N).” he promised. “besides, if anything were to happen to you, I’d go out of my mind love.” he remembered the times she went on missions without him, he would stay back in the office scared out of his mind, wondering what would he do if she never came back. As their ranks increased the dangers increased. She pulled back when she felt a drop of tear in her shoulder.

She took his face in her hands, wiping the tears which decorated the curves of his cheek. “We’re okay Neil.” she repeated his words, he nodded firmly making her smile. “Lucky charm.” she showed the said lucky charm in her hands making him roll his eyes.

“How many times do I have to tell you not to pick my pockets?” he playfully glared while taking back the talisman.

They never realized how close they were until now. (Y/N) looked up at him only to see his eyes fixed on her lips, she took a sharp intake of breath, letting out an airy whisper of his name to which he gave a soft smile, while his eyes asked the question which she was too eager to answer.

And she did. She pressed her lips to his, smiles breaking out on their faces, the two genuinely could not believe they were doing this. Finally. He was the first to pull back breathing heavily, closing their eyes and foreheads touching, they started laughing in disbelief.

“God I wanted to do that for so long.” he panted with a huge beaming smiles, her face mirroring his, nodding in agreement.

“I love you Neil.” the soft tone of her voice made Neil close his eyes as though it was one of the most beautiful song of the universe.

“I love you (Y/N).” he let out another breathy laugh, connecting their lips again in pure bliss.

“I thought you said they were best friends?” the protagonist asked Ives, watching Neil kiss (Y/N). Ives stood there with a proud smile and a relived thought saying ‘finally, that took way too long’

“Yes I did” he laughed walking away.

Thank you all for your support and patience, I appreciate it a lot.

- Neil would never complain about what he does for a living, but saving the world from the potential threat of world war 3 and other disasters does get a bit tiring after a while

- So as much as he appreciates his work, he enjoys his downtime a bit more

- You usually spend your time off together, enjoying each other’s company when you don’t have to worry about running around the world and reversing yourselves for some bizarre reason.
